Chapter 352: Chapter 85: Mutation of Void Power; Birth of the Void Descendant (8k)

The bustling, colorful dragon flock flew over the Monster City, heading towards the Black Fortress high above, under the watchful eyes of countless Black Wing Followers.

Through continuous expansion, the main building of the Black Fortress has now reached a height of three thousand meters, covering a total area of more than five thousand square kilometers when including all buildings, squares, and dragon pools.

Among them reside over ten thousand dragon-blooded maids and over a hundred thousand Dragon Descendant guards.

Tens of thousands of trained demons and powerful beasts exist here. For instance, the Red Demon Eagle mounts of the Red Demon Eagle Knight Order, advanced demons themselves, number over a thousand.

If Monster City is the laid-back gathering hub of the Black Wing Nest, with the Black Wing Race from the Dark Forest, Wasteland, and Sea Islands flourishing in various professions and trades,

then the Black Fortress is the core of the Black Wing Nest, solemn, severe, disciplined, and powerful.

It gathers more than seventy percent of the elite forces of the Black Wing Nest.

In the Black Fortress, Advanced-power demons and followers are a common sight, and it’s not rare to occasionally encounter Master-level strong individuals.

The dragon flock hovered over the square of the Black Fortress, greeted by a squad of a hundred Red Demon Eagle Knights.

"Welcome back, Your Highnesses. Please proceed to the Dragon Pool for a bath first."

Leading the group was a Red Demon Eagle Knight Captain with formidable presence, reaching Level 15, riding a top-level Red Demon Eagle with a wingspan of more than twenty meters, respectfully speaking to the dragon flock including Gonzalo.

Except for a few True Dragons, all dragon beasts among the dragon flock are referred to as "Your Highness" in the Black Wing Nest, ranked third in status within it.

The first rank naturally belongs to the Black Dragon Lord, undisputed.

The second rank is represented by the core followers like Shiji, wielding great power and authority, executing orders for the Black Dragon Lord.

When the Black Dragon Lord is absent, they hold the domain’s power of speech.

The third rank is the dragon beast legion bestowed with spiritual wisdom by Void Power; additionally, the core dragon-blooded maids of the Black Fortress share this rank.

Below the third rank, there are fourth and fifth ranks.

The fourth rank includes elite guard orders like the Red Demon Eagle Knight Order, comprised of the most elite Dragon Descendant guards, and similar personal guard legions such as the goblin warriors formed by Big Goblins, the Frenzy Legion formed by Giant Demons, the Bloody Legion formed by Harpies, and the Silver Legion fully equipped with Silver Base Armor, composed of elite members from various clans.

The above constitutes the five major personal guard legions, where the minimum threshold for every guard’s strength is Advanced, and the one with the most overall strength is the Silver Legion.

Advanced Silver Base Armor, when worn by an Advanced Warrior, can match the strength of a regular Level 15 professional.

And top-level Silver Base Armor, worn by a normal Master-level professional, bestows top-tier Master-level strength; if the wearer already possesses top-tier Master-level strength, it can fully reach the threshold of Pseudo-Legendary strength.

Thus, the Silver Legion, composed of one thousand advanced Black-winged warriors in Advanced Silver Base Armor and three Master-level Black-winged warriors in top-level Silver Base Armor, is indisputably the strongest legion of the Black Wing Nest.

The fifth rank is the secondary legions. While slightly weaker than the above five major personal guard legions, their strength should not be underestimated.

For instance, the Warg Knight Order belonging to the Wild Clan Jackal Wolfmen, all elite Middle Level, generally possess Level 7 or above strength, with not a few holding Advanced or Master-level strength.

Additionally, the Kobold Dragon Vein Mage Legion, though it should be divided into two specific groups.

One group is the Combat Mage Legion, dedicated to combat, where the mages learn spells and research bloodline magic purely for slaughter.

The other group is the auxiliary mage legion, learning various supportive spells, including territorial construction, healing, strengthening warriors, text writing, language comprehension, and so on...

Among the Dragon-blooded Humans, Blood Blade Warrior Legion and Blood Knight Legion have been established.

The Bear Goblins formed a Roaring Legion, while the Celestial Dog People established Assassins, and the Gray Eagle Monsters formed Gray Eagle Archers, among others.

In the previous two wars with the Barbarian Royal Court, Black Wing Nest barely dispatched true elites, deploying only a few secondary legions like the Warg Knight Order and Gray Eagle Archer Legion, with the rest being regular Black-winged Warriors.

If any of the five major legions were deployed, the speed at which the Barbarian Army would collapse would increase dramatically, naturally impacting the battle between Udi and the Barbarian King.

This was intentional.

Even so, it was somewhat regrettable that despite restraining itself, creating a duel scenario for Barbarian King Victor and the Black Dragon Lord, the Black Dragon Lord ultimately failed to take down the opponent.

The dragon flocks, led by the Red Demon Eagle Knights, queued towards the Dragon Pool for a bath.

The Dragon Pool was vast, indistinguishable in size from a wide lake.

The Black Dragon Lord routinely resides and slumbers in the central area upstream of the Dragon Pool.

The dragon flocks, however, headed downstream of the Dragon Pool.

The so-called bath involves absorbing the aura that permeates the Dragon Pool thanks to the Black Dragon Lord’s long stay upstream—his aura, blood, and shedded Dragon Scales gradually infused into it.

So "bathing" equates to absorbing the Void aura scattered within the Dragon Pool.
